Flicker films

I'm doing a research about flicker films. I know all the classics: Peter Kubelka, Tony Conrad, Paul Sharits, etc. but I was wondering if someone could tell me more examples, even not related with cinema (videoart, installations... ) or any good books or articles about this topic.

"Really, I think, behind everything, he was trying to teach people to see differently." -Marianne Faithfull, on Brion Gysin
The Dream Machine looks simple enough: a 100-watt light bulb, a motor, and a rotating cylinder with cutouts. Just sit in front of it, close your eyes, and wait for the visions to come. The Dream Machine offers a drugless high that its creator - poet, artist, calligrapher, and mystic Brion Gysin - believed would revolutionize human consciousness. He wasn't alone. William S. Burroughs thought it could be used to "storm the citadels of enlightenment."
Taking the Dream Machine as the basis of its explorations, FLicKeR asks crucial questions about the nature of art and consciousness, and imagines a humanity liberated to explore its creativity in complete freedom.
FILMMAKER IN PERSON!
-Saturday and Sunday, June 13 & 14 at 8:00 each night.
